Canon 357

1. Every cleric is to be enrolled as a cleric either in some

eparchy or exarchy or religious institute or society of common

life in the manner of religious or, also, in institutes or in

associations which have obtained from the Apostolic See the right

to enroll clerics in themselves or, within the territorial boundaries of the Church over which he presides, from the patriarch

with the consent of the permanent synod. 2. What is established concerning the enrollment of clerics in some eparchy and

dismissal from it is also applicable with the appropriate modification to those juridic persons mentioned above as well as, if

the particular law so states, to the patriarchal Church itself,

unless the law has expressly stated otherwise.
